Charles, William and Harry look set on a brutal collision course for 2023

NICOLAS AUJULA is a psychic who hails from south London and now emanates his predictions from LA. One he has for us in 2023 is that there will be “turmoil in the royal family”. Nicolas is definitely onto something there. This year was one of shock for the real-life cast of The Crown, with the death of the Queen in September altering the look and feel of the royal family. The “sad music-playing” revelations and revenges on Netflix from Harry and Meghan were the culmination of a battle for public opinion in the Windsor family feud.

Next year is, however, another significant one for “the Firm”, for a number of reasons. The first is that King Charles will have his coronation in May, an event now in intense planning stages as “Operation Golden Orb”. If the codename does not shriek originality, it is because the Queen’s successor is aiming for an event which fits seamlessly into decades of coronation rituals. At the same time, there is a pared-down guest list of about 2,000 and a desire to bring more “normals” into an event which has been firmly in the grip of an interconnected elite of friends and aristocrats alongside foreign dignitaries. Signalling continuity and alternation is the Palace equivalent of New Labour’s “traditional values in a modern setting”. But getting the tone of this right is vital.
